Yeah, my point is there's a technical difference, but if the end effect is simply creating a benefit to humanity, it doesn't really seem important to distinguish between "philanthropist" and "humanitarian". So saying Gates is the biggest ph

Oh snap, sorry about that. For some reason I read that line in your original comment as "I also hope it's not another ARM Chromebook".

Isn't being ARM-based something that actually helps keep the hardware price down? I thought it was generally cheaper to go with chips like Snapdragon / Tegra / Exynos than, say, any Intel. And I also thought it actually helped with battery

What's the difference between philanthropy and humanitarianism? Just donating wealth vs developing it? Is that really a significant thing to distinguish?

I know the comment you're responding to wasn't that great, but this really isn't "objectively true." He's done a lot of good for sure, but to simply accept his contributions as "the most generous and influential" because of his fame and the

I don't see why that argument equals that strategy. It's an argument for expecting a specific price, not for waiting for a specific product or service.

If you have an old drill and buy a new one, you own an old drill and a new drill. If you have old software and update it, you only have the new software. In the first case, the value of your goods and of their use to you is more than just

According to Wikipedia, Rockefeller is widely considered to be the richest person ever, but I guess this is interesting to me because the Walton heirs themselves are still making billionaire lists. But that's a good point. I wonder what t

by ok_craig 14y ago
Whenever I see these lists I always find it interesting to think about the fact that the only reason a Walton isn't in #1 is because Sam is long gone, and his value was split between his children, all 4 of whom have $30+ billion. Kinda cra

I think one obvious point is that the minds dedicated to increasing ad clickthrough generate the revenue needed for other great minds to embark on projects like self-driving cars, glass, and, you know, only indexing the entire internet. Als

But isn't the point being made here that saying nothing could actively hurt your case? So you're screwed if you talk and you're screwed if you don't.

He doesn't actually say "confident" or "well spoken." Those are things of substance, and he left them out. > Nobody is making you buy the jagerbombs and popped collars part. This is true. I guess I just cant help the correlation in my

I'm not sure about tautology or whatever (it seems like you're confusing the network for the endpoints), but I'll give you a metaphor. In the US you are a "free" citizen in an "open" country. You are free to go anywhere you want on open ro

Ugh, that guy sounds gross. I'm sure he's cool in person but if one were to simply follow this strict list of items they could very easily end up turning themselves into a douche bag. Do we have to become someone we hate to attract people

"Free and open web" doesn't mean unfettered access to private parties' services, it means unfettered access to the internet itself. I.e. access to the services on the internet that private parties are willing to let you use.

These seem like good analogies for poorly thought out economic decisions made by governments. E.g. cars of a certain class will have a higher carbon tax, so car companies respond by popularizing cars of a different (bigger) class. (The SUV

It doesn't upset me when people notice a fact of reality, if it actually is the case. If Chrome was slow, it would be slow and a valid thing to point out, and we could discuss it. But when someone makes a claim without giving any examples

I love it when people say things like this without providing specifics. Not sure what you guys are talking about. The UI is the same and it seems to work just as well or better for me.

I would be interested in learning whether this issue is universal for all men, or specific to men of certain demographics. Anyone have any insight?

I don't think that phrase means what you think it means. Fleeing countries for possibly being responsible for other peoples' deaths isn't quite the same thing as stopping work to avoid being leeched dry. Regardless of whether you think the
